The Phoenix Suns' top pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, Alex Len, spent most of his summer rehabbing from his second ankle surgery of the calendar year. He was able to return to the court and practice with his new teammates just days before the team began training camp at the beginning of October.

Due to the Suns' depth at the center position, general manager Ryan McDonough told Arizona Sports 620's Burns & Gambo Wednesday that the team doesn't need to rush the Maryland product's development.

"We're trying to be patient with Alex, but you're starting to see it [his health] come back," McDonough said.
